Cato Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Now that the F-18 has TXDSG functionality, can or will the A-10 be able to share SPI's over datalink? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Bunny Clark Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I don't think do. The Hornet and Viper transmit designations over Link16, while the Hog uses SADL. The two can interconnect through a node but I don't think designation points translate. I could be wrong though. Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.

Emmy Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 The Hog 2 can see both A2A and A2G SPIs from AI-flown friendly jets but not human-flown. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.476vfightergroup.com/content.php High Quality Aviation Photography For Personal Enjoyment And Editorial Use. www.crosswindimages.com
NobleNoisiii Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Hi me and my friend were wondering you can do some sort of datalink between the A10 and F18 and I can't find any other forms or people asking this question.

The_Tau Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Hmm isn't the whole point of AWACS to make sure that all planes USAF, USN, NATO coalition have same datalink data? Tau's Youtube channel Twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/the0tau
corvus5624 Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Well, I agree but AWACS can also be useful without a datalink, just by using voice comms. I think AWACS started out like that, just voice, but correct me if I'm wrong about that. I would be interested to know if current A-10s do have the same datalink as the USAF/USN. Btw, I'm playing The Enemy Within campaign right now and I do see the F-16s on my TAD, so that at least is working (I'm playing with the A-10C II).
icemaker Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 The A-10C has a L16/TALD link but in DCS the link is effective with AI but only with some pliots in MP.
